Answer

  1. The ratio of eyes to tails is 2 to 1.

    The ratio of feet to tails is 6 to 2.

    There are 2 eyes for every tail.

    There are 3 feet for every tail.

  2. Clare says the ratio of woodwind players to percussion players is 2 : 6. Andre says the ratio of woodwind players to percussion players is 1 : 3. The diagram shows 12 woodwind players and 4 percussion players. The correct ratio is 12 : 4, which simplifies to 3 : 1. Therefore, both Clare and Andre are incorrect.

  3. Mai says the ratio of water to tea is 4 : 2. This simplifies to 2 : 1. Another ratio that Mai could write for the ratio of water to tea is 2 : 1. This means for every 2 cups of water, there is 1 tablespoon of tea.
